Pyodex P is faster than Goes 2F,and a little faster than Goex 3F, especially when it's compressed.
Swiss is very close to Pyrodex P, not sure but I don't think it's as fast.
777 is the fastest, except for maybe Blackhorn 209.

But even CVA will say not to load more than 90-120 grains of loose powder for best accuracy, and they're usually talking about 2F.

As a matter of fact, they recommend IMR White Hots.

Bullets will be a little slower because they're heavier than balls.
